In a normal disc case the disc doesn't touch the bottom and can remain in the same condition. It's pretty easy to store a disc nicely

I've had seen tons of discs that had light shave marks and sratches thanks to those disc wallets or disc sleeves.

Would not recommend them.

Yeah I was thinking the same as that. Wondered if there was high market one that does not do said damage.

you cannot avoid damage overtime it will have light shave marks or sratches you have to slide the disc in and out no matter how of a good quality the disc wallet is.

I will say though, damage will never be letal for the discs, the damage is pretty light overall it should not have any effect if you take care of the discs other than the disc wallet ofcourse..

However if you want to keep your discs in the same condition for as long as possible I would not recommended to use these so called disc sleeves / wallets.

Personally I have seen many examples It's nice and all to have discs in a wallet but you should at least store your discs in a cd case to keep them in the same condition, gameplay wise it should just be fine damage is very minor like I said, it will not get worse after a certain point well at least not really noticable chances.

If you like minty discs they will be ruined that's for sure.

HOWEVER. I once customized a disc wallet with felt inside the sleeve and the discs over a period of 2 decades never had a scratch. I suppose you could use thin microfiber towels to cut up instead of felt in today's world but either way you could use a disc wallet and not damage the discs. Personally I'd rather have the full case/artwork experience. Every time I go to swap out a disc I take a moment to take in and appreciate the artwork. 8)

what discs did you use.

Ps3 ps4 discs xbox 360 and xbox one wii u discs are very sturdy and are very hard to get scratches on

wii ps2 era and before are the ones that aren't as tough.

I used to with my music CDs for easy access. But never again after learning that these things help contribute to disc rot, due to the pages rubbing up against each other when there's movement or weight shifting.

Now I keep only burned copies of my CDs in one for the car.

I have no clue where you got that info but disc rot is more influenced thanks to the temperature. your info seems incorrect if you would like my opinion.

Very high or low temperatures or a very tropical climate can increase the speed when disc rot might appear and just overtime with normal conditions.

Will not appear faster or slower when storing them in either cd jewel cases or a disc wallet.

As far as disc rot goes I don't think that we have to fear for that in our current life time if you just store them normally and don't live in a tropical jungle of some sorts :D

maybe for the sega cd saturn but otherwise not really an issue. unless you collect older dvd'd and music cd's wich were of low quality. game discs have been made allot more sturdy since you should be able to use them allot and for longer play sessions not to mention that they should also still work after some abuse since it was also for kids.
